Recommended Customer Reviews

Timo found and fixed our leak in one morning for less than half of the other plumber's estimate. His leak detection tool must be better than some other leak detectors because it didn't take him more than 10 minutes to find the problem. The other plumber was talking about ripping up our driveway!
Leak Star---Super professional. A real pleasure!

I had a slab leak in my home, felt the warmth of hot water coming through my flooring. I called around to a few companies and found Timo from Leak Star. He was very prompt, professional, and to the point. I was able to set up an appointment with him the following day and he confirmed my leak. He worked on rerouting my water line and completed it quickly. I highly recommend Timo! He did a great job!

I had a slab leak coming up in the garage. I was not sure if it was from sprinkler valves outside or where? I called Leak Star about a month ago and spoke with Timo. He spent a lot of time on the phone trying to walk me through the problem. He was waiting for some new equipment so we held off on an appointment.
A few weeks later, I called again. Timo remembered me and came out the following day. Found the problem and scheduled the repair for the next day.
Fixed the problem for the quoted estimate along with some other issues he found.
If I could give Tito 10 stars......I would.

After a week of a faint smell of mildew, I finally checked our water meter to find that we did in fact have something leaking but could not be seen. I called 3 companies with no immediate answer. I called Leak Star and Timo answered. He was calm and professional as I explained our issues. He was able to quickly diagnose our problem as a hot water slab leak and set a time to come check it out. He was timely and knew exactly what had to be done. The following day I had questions, I called, he picked up, knew exactly who I was and able to put my mind at ease.
After a half day's work, our leak had stopped, we had a new pipe with minimal impact on our drywall. I am beyond pleased with the work and the professionalism. I highly recommend and if we ever do have another situation, they will be my first call!

Very happy that we called Timo amongst the choices. We were pleased with him and his crew. Found the leak within the first 30 minutes between walls of a 3 story condo.
Thanks Timo and team!

I contacted Leak Star after finding them on yelp. Timo came out the next morning to take a look at my leak (ground was warm). On top of being fast and extremely helpful, Timo gave us a fair estimate and began work immediately on rerouting our pipes. Throughout the project other types of questions and minor issues arose that Timo addressed professionally. Above all I felt the recommendations were honest and I would not hesitate to use Leak Star, much less refer them to friends and family, for any plumbing related issues. Thank you Timo!!

The reviews are accurate. Fast response and super nice/helpful man. I have a leak in my yard somewhere and it is so deep and pointing downward so his equipment couldn't detect BUT he referred me to someone with specialty equipment and verified there is in fact a big leak. He didn't charge me anything either! Great to find nice, honest neighborly people like this.
Will definitely refer and definitely use in future

Timo is absolutely awesome. We have a slab leak and he was able to come in less than 24 hours to diagnosis the problem. He provided us with all the information we need and a quote for the work. Thank Timo!

Wben we had a slab leak, Timo did a great job at a reasonable price.

We decided to repipe our house after two leaks that fortunately happened in the garage. We contacted Leak Star after checking reviews. Timo gave us fair estimate with the 3 day job that did not require us to vacate our house.
He has a very pleasant and calm demeanor and his work required minimal drywall removal inside the house. He also minimize the debris and cleaned up as he cut the drywall.
I work with contractors at my place of employment( large company) and Timo is better than most of the contractors that my company hires for projects.
We highly recommend Leak Star for plumbing repairs
